Lancaster police officers are searching for a suspect in the attempted murder that happened between 8:15 and 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 23.

Firefighters received a call shortly after 3:30 p.m. Sunday about a fire at a two-story house at 6616 Camp Creek Road. The home is located in the Tradesville community in the northeastern part of the county, not far from the state line.

When firefighters arrived, flames were coming from the garage and the kitchen area and later shot through the roof, said Lancaster County Fire Marshal Stephen Blackwelder.

The fifth week of the legislative session is over and the House has already passed four major conservative government reforms.
We approved a state law requiring roll call voting in the General Assembly that reinforces the House rule that requires it in our chamber. We approved the Voter ID legislation, supported by 83 percent of Americans, to require a photo identification be shown at the polls. We approved new requirements that our public colleges and universities be more transparent in how they spend your tax – and tuition – dollars.
